Unlimited Downloads: Share Files Without Download Limits
When you share a file, you expect one simple thing: the recipient opens the link and downloads the file. But some file transfer services count every download. When the count reaches a limit, the link stops working.
In short: with SendGB you upload once, share the link, and every recipient can download the file as many times as needed. No counter, no "limit reached" error, and no account for you or your recipients.
What is a download limit?
A download limit is the maximum number of times a shared file can be downloaded. When the file reaches that number, the link stops working and the recipient sees an error instead of the file.
The sender usually learns about it too late, when a recipient writes to say the link is broken.
Why download limits cause problems
A download limit looks like a small detail, but it causes real trouble in daily use:
| Situation | What happens with a download limit |
|---|---|
| Large teams | You send one link to a team. The limit is reached quickly and the last colleagues cannot get the file. |
| Forwarded links | Your client forwards the link. Every new download uses up the limit. |
| Failed downloads | The connection drops and the recipient tries again. Some services count every attempt. |
| More than one device | Downloading on a computer and later on a phone counts as two downloads. |
| Public links | You post the link on a website, in a newsletter, or on social media, and many people click it on the same day. |
In every case you must upload the file again and send a new link to everyone.
SendGB has no download limit
With SendGB, there is nothing to count:
- Upload once. Share the link by email or as a direct link.
- Download as often as needed. Your recipients can download the file as many times as they want until its storage period ends.
- Free for everyone. Unlimited downloads are part of the free service and of every paid SendGB product. You can send files up to 5 GB for free, without an account.
Who benefits from unlimited downloads?
Anyone who shares a file with more than one person:
| Who | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Photographers and video creators | Photos and videos for clients and their families |
| Teachers and trainers | Course materials for a full class |
| Agencies and freelancers | Project files for clients and client teams |
| Software developers | Installation files and test builds for testers |
| Event organizers | Presentations, photos, and documents for all participants |
| Companies | Price lists, catalogs, and reports for many partners |

Unlimited downloads, full control
Unlimited downloads do not mean you lose control of your file:
- Password protection: only people who know the password can download the file.
